Sage will continue to fund CFMA educational programs and expand the Sage Educational Fellowship program through the renewed partnership.

CFMA is a leading provider of educational programs and resources to financial managers in the industry, while Sage, as an industry leader in construction business management software, has the practical experience of working with more than 40,000 construction and real estate customers, including accounting professionals within the Sage Accountants Network.”

CFMA is the only professional organization dedicated to serving its members by providing critical industry research and specialized financial information and education to construction financial managers and professionals. CFMA is known as the source and resource for construction financial managers to help them achieve better bottom lines.

“The Sage commitment to the industry, and specifically to education, makes it a truly valued partner of CFMA,” said Stuart Binstock, president and chief executive officer of CFMA. “Working together this past year, we have been able to expand learning opportunities for our members and the broader construction community. We look forward to how much more we can accomplish together in the coming year.”
